Every now and then, a product pops up that everyone seems to swear by but no one I personally know has tried. That’s exactly how I stumbled across Collistar Magic Drops. I saw the name floating around in a skincare Facebook group, then again on a Reddit thread about self-tanners that works.
A few searches later, and it was clear this product had a bit of a reputation, especially in Europe for delivering a flawless, believable tan without streaks or that annoying fake tan smell. Naturally, I had to put it to the test.
What Are Collistar Magic Drops?
Collistar Magic Drops are a concentrated self-tanning serum that you can mix with your daily moisturizer or apply straight to your skin. The idea is to customize your tan to either light or deep, depending on how many drops you use. It’s supposed to be quick-drying, streak-free, and give a natural bronze look without the harsh self-tanner smell.
My Experience with Collistar Magic Drops
The first thing I noticed? The texture and scent. It’s a super lightweight, watery serum that disappears into your skin within seconds. No greasy residue, no tackiness. And unlike most self-tanners I’ve used, this one has a pleasant, almost floral scent. Major win.
I mixed 3 drops with my regular moisturizer on the first night and applied it all over my face and neck. I was skeptical, but by the next morning, I noticed a subtle but clear difference as my skin looked warmer and just generally healthier. Not orange. Not patchy. Just like I’d been somewhere sunny.
Over the next few days, I experimented a bit. I found that 4–5 drops every other night gave me the perfect golden glow without ever looking fake. It didn’t cling to dry patches, didn’t stain my sheets, and best of all there was no weird smell the next day.
The only issue? I did get a bit of streaking around my jawline the first time, but I think that was on me for not blending properly. Once I figured that out, it was smooth sailing.
